Your idea of a comfortable, easy evening
    #8815251 -

You know, I've always wanted a fireplace. Sometimes I think it would be great to sit near a crackling fire, sipping on some good wine while reading a really good book or poetry while soft classical music plays in the background. Maybe I'm just getting old. I really enjoy my alone time at night. What do you personally read and listen to on nights when you just want to relax, meditate, or chill out? Or do you even read at all?

I really love stuff like this (by Gorecki), but I don't like it when her voice gets so high. What I prefer is music you can put on in the background and just absorb, usually instrumental and deep in pitch.

Lately I have been listening a lot to a two-disc set I got called A State of Wonder - it comprises two separate recording sessions, 40 years apart, that Glenn Gould did of Bach's Goldberg Variations.  The first disc, which was Gould's breakout record and made him internationally renowned, is lively, jaunty, springy with the youth of his fingers. The second disc is slower, more pensive, shows his age and maturity.

I've listened to each disc probably 20 times now and always find something new, and there is such curious interplay between the two. For anyone who is a fan of Glenn Gould, of Bach, of piano, I recommend it most highly.

Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake.
